Lindsay:
This weekend several inspired and determined souls braved the chilling temperatures to participate in the Permaculture on the Edge workshop that Andrew and I hosted. Here are some images from the weekend.
On Saturday we went over the ecological foundations for permaculture, stategies for design, and techniques for learning how to grow food from the forest through observation and experimentation.

On Sunday, we finished the 80ft long Hugelkulture bed. Many hands sure do make light work!

Thank you to all who helped make this weekend a success!
